RacePak & Edlebrock Quick Data keep coming up in discussions, but I am open to anything.
Dave Dahlgren of this site kindly offered to configure a solution for us, but I feel his vast experience and preferences deal with more complexity than we need.
Any comments, advice, experience would be gratefully received!!!
Thanks,
Karl
Note: logging system needs to be expandable to log FI /turbo stuff
Dave is a really smart guy, and he knows this stuff so well that it sounds quite complex, but when you get to the "do it" stage, Dave is the guy you want on your team. You are planning to switch to turbo/EFI after the car is sorted... you will want Dave to call on.
Here is my story... we got tired of piggy back on piggy back control, switching all the ECU wiring when we changed motors, buying piggy backs for everything... well you know the drill, so a guy on this site had a Motec for sale, we struck a deal and I had a Motec. Jon Amo had one on his bike, Joe Amo had one on his bike, they both said call Dave. I did. Dave had done the wiring loom and sold the Motec several years before. I told him what I was planning and doing, we talked about what I had and what I was trying to do. He told me I had most of what I needed, the differences in what I was doing with the small four as opposed to the Buell that it was designed for and how to change it all. He knew Busa from working with Ack, so I took the easy route and bought a few connectors, relays and sensors from Dave. He told me he could build my relay set for me, but it would be cheaper for me to just build it myself, he told me how it needed to work, and I built it. (For the salt you want all of your wiring and relays to be sealed... not sealed like the relays on the bike... sealed.) Dave has sent me to his suppliers to buy parts, why, because it would cost more to have it shipped to him and then him sell and ship it to me. He is great to work with... yes we are now good friends... I had met him, but I didn't know him before I bought the Motec. I call, and he talks me through stuff... I send him a map, he looks at it and we talk about it, great coach for someone learning EFI from scratch... me... Hey, years ago I was going to put carbs on a Busa motor because I didn't know anything about EFI.
Do I sound like a Dave fan... yes I am. Motec may not be the cheapest stuff out there, but it is all expandable to be as simple or complicated as you want it. Call Dave and talk a little. Or call me and talk a little....
